Why should you work with a mortgage broker?

Working with Alterna Mortgage is better than working with a bank.

Pros of working with Alterna Mortgage

• We do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
• We compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
• We have access to wholesale interest rates that can be lower than bank branch interest rates
• We work with numerous banks and lenders so you get more loan options
• We can finance custom lending situations because of our experience and various lending partners
• We are a LOT less bureaucratic…so you will be working with the owner, Scott, directly through the entire process.

Cons of working with a bank

• They have conservative loan programs.
• They don’t disclose the yield-spread premium.
• Working with banks is generally a lengthy process and can be very bureaucratic.
• Large banks tend to lose track of the details. You might get false promises.
• They may overcharge you because their commission doesn’t need to be disclosed.
• Sometimes the people you are working with are not educated about the home loan process. In some cases, they’re just general bankers or customer service representatives.
